Geert,
1) Yes, you are correct that with "no auto-summary" on R1, R2 will only see the /24 route. I mis-spoke in my last email, as the route still shows up in the rip database (show ip rip database) as a /8 due to "auto-summary". It appears as if Rip will automatically auto-summarize into its own database. It seems that "no auto-summary" doesn't prevent Rip from putting the auto-summarized address into its own database, rather it prevents the auto-summarized addresses from entering the RIB from the Rip process.
2) Independent of whether or not auto-summary is disabled, you will not be able to introduct any subnetworks into Rip without advertising the entire classful address in the process. If you enter "network 1.1.1.0" into rip (which won't accept a subnet mask), and then do a "show run", you will see that your subnet was parsed out by the IOS and reverted to the major class, which in this case is "1.0.0.0" (again without the subnet mask).
3) You are correct in that you cannot use the "summary-address" command to advertise a longer-length mask when you already have a shorter-length mask in your routing protocol's database. This, in essence, would be a "specific-address" command (if one existed), whereas this would have the exact opposite effect.
Thanks for taking the time to participate!
Ken

My conclusions after some lab tests:
1) auto-summary enabled on both routers and "network 1.0.0.0" on R1
-> generates a 1.0.0.0/8 summary route (together with a specific /24 route)
-> disable auto-summary on R1 and summary disappears on R2, R2 only has 1.1.1.0/24
2) auto-summary enabled,
but if you advertise the network with: network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
-> the summary is not generated, R2 only contains 1.1.1.0/24
-> even with auto-summary on
3) The solution:
ip summary-address eigrp 1 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
don't think, it will work, since you can't summarize a /8 route into a /24 route

Geert

Hey Georg,
Have you labbed this up? I'm sure you'd be interested to find that either of this configurations will still yield a /8 route on R2. Surprised? ;-)

Hello,
auto-summary needs to be turned off on R1, the other way to advertise the
address is to use the ip summary-address eigrp 1 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
command on the R1 interface connected to R2. Not sure though if that second
way is the CCIE lab allowed way...
Regards,
Georg
